Magnitude scale theory
... The magnitudes of stars - theory How bright a star looks is given by its apparent magnitude. This is different from its absolute magnitude. The absolute magnitude of a star is defined as the apparent magnitude that it would have if placed at a distance of 10 parsecs from the Earth. Consider two star ...

... We are confident that very massive black holes exist at the centers of most galaxies. Black holes of a few solar masses are believed to form when massive stars undergo core collapse if the collapsed core exceeds the maximum of ~ 3 M permitted for neutron stars. The best evidence for such black hole ...

... For a degenerate gas, the ignition of helium burning will heat the gas, but do not cause expand The increased temperature makes the reaction go faster, which further heats the gas, which makes the reaction goes faster. This cycle of explosive nuclear reaction continues until temperature is high enou ...

INSIDE LAB 7: Measuring the Velocities of Stars
... One of the best ways to understand stars is to look at their spectra. The spectrum of a star is a plot of the intensity of the light coming from that star as a function of wavelength. Although we like to pretend that stellar spectra are simply block body distributions, the reality is far more comple ...
